I cannot understand how long it took to diagnose the injury. If back and head and limbs were deemed sound and it was indeed a shoulder area injury, then it should be no more than a simple stretcher into the dressing room at the most for treatment. I am a regular race course goer and have seen fallen jockeys with shoulder dislocations actually be walk assisted to an ambulance where on occasions the skilled medic could pop the shoulder back into place. So why the long pitch attention please?
